The aurora is a notable exception. Long exposure is key to gathering enough light for detecting vibrant colors. I suspect that pupil dilation (via diagnostic eye drops, MDMA, etc.) could help, but I haven't tested this hypothesis.

Aurora colors are visible to the naked eye. I've seen it myself.

Likewise, but I meant as vibrant as in photos.

If you have a good storm and are far enough up to the pole, you do not need long exposure. Aurora was already famous before photography.
